Taking inspiration from established socialite Lee Radziwill, the Ports 1961 Fall collection features elegantly layered looks that are sure to keep fashionable ladies warm during the autumn season.
The collection continues to create classic silhouettes and give it a sporty-chic flare. Feminine apparel in an expected color palette, which includes grays, camels and off-whites are complemented with splashes of electric blues, reds and forest green accents. The designer made use of heavy fabrics including tweed and taffeta, which is exactly what is needed to bare the colder weather.
Some very feminine and classic silhouettes were offered including beautifully tailored overcoats and elegant circle skirts. Most of the pieces were complemented with sophisticated leather gloves and long grey socks to really push the Ports 1961 Fall collection into fashionable, appropriate autumn attire.
